MINNESOTA 55102 � MAYOR (812) 298-4323 ��C���� �G � ��gg1 December 26, 1991 ������ ��.���` �_., Council President Bill Wilson and Honorable Members of the City Council 7th Floor City Hall Saint Paul, MN 55102 Dear Council President Wilson and Members of the City Council: I have vetoed the December 12, 1991 Council resolution, (Council File Number 91- 2247), setting the 1992 sewer service rates. I share the concern of the City Council that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum. However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds. There are four reasons for my veto: (1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep the fund solvent we would be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993 rates. 1� (2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the Metropolitan Waste � Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the authority to charge an interest penalty. (3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent. As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low. (4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs ceased. However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and environmental costs in the near future. In response to the Counc�l's recent act�on and as a comprom�se, I am recommend�ng a 9.5 percent increase �n the 1992 serv�ce rates. Th�s rate recommendat�on w�ll requ�re over $530,000 of add�t�onal cuts �n the Sewer Seru�ce Fund. �8 5 . - �- y/-a�°7�/7'� it will be very difficult to make these cuts because as a result of the 1992 budget process, the Sewer Service Fund has already cut $272,000. The additional $530,000 being cut will cause the total elimination of some mandated programs including the federally mandated Stormwater Discharge Permit activity and City participation in the state mandated Watershed Management Organizations. It will also reduce the amount spent on major sewer repair and the federally mandated Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program. Part I of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for our stormwater discharges is due on May 18, 1992. Under the proposed cut, work on this program will stop and the City will fail to meet its responsibilities under this new, unfunded federal regulation. In addition, the state required funding for the several Watershed Management Organizations in the City will be eliminated. The deferment of maintenance resulting in the cuts in major sewer repair may meet an immediate financial need; however, the deterioration of our infrastructure will have a much higher future cost. The proposed reduction in spending in the Inflow and Infiltration Program will likely result in the City's failure to meet its obligations under the current NPDES permit for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Elimination Program. Noncompliance will expose the City of Saint Paul to financial and other liability. All of the above cuts are one time and will have to be reviewed as part of 1993 budget process. In the proposed 1992 sewer budget, there are no increases in spending for wages or in any other budget items. As mayor I will initiate the following actions: (1.) I have attached a reolution to implement my recommendation for a 9 1/2 percent increase in the 1992 sewer service rates. (2.) I will arrange for the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission representatives to meet with my staff and members of the Council to discuss all City concerns about MWCC charges. Until appropriate sewer rates are set, I have requested the Saint Paul Water Utility to withhold their billings for January. (3.) With all the federal and state mandated programs and the corresponding increases in regional and city sewer service charges, it appears imperative that an oversight into these programs is necessary. I intend to explore the possibility of submitting these mandated programs and annual regional sewer service charges to the State Public Utilities Commission or another appropriate agency for their review. (4.) The Department of Public Works will conduct an extensive study of the revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a part of the study, Public Works will: • contact municipal agencies within Minnesota and similar size cities in • ♦' cl `//' X c.! / `�" . • _ ( L other states. We will identify the trends in sewer service rates in other communities that have resulted from mandated environmental programs and will detemine if these cities are experiencing decreased water use by both commercial and residential customers. • review all large commercial and industrial water and sewer use. • review MWCC costs to the City and the allocation method. • Identify the current and future ability of the Department of Public Works to provide quality sewer service to our customers. • also investigate any new state or federal requirements and their cost impact. • examine ways of consolidating Public Works sewer services with the Saint Paul Water Utility for gains in overall cost effectiveness. • develop a plan to stabilize the sewer rates over a 10-year period. We will detail these issues in a mid-year report to the City Council. If appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of submitting an amended budget and as permitted by the Legislative code, adjust sewer rates mid-year. As elected City officials, we have all taken strong stands on environmental issues. Cleaning up our environment plays a critical part in retaining a high quality of life for Saint Paul citizens. We must maintain support for environment actions with a balanced budget. Therefore, I feel that my veto is the only fiscally responsible action available to me. I know you also share this view and I trust you will support it. Sincerely, , , '�i;' ����dt James Scheibel Mayor JS/dn Attachment , � � �'`,� '- � �'`� � ����/-���f� ✓ , , � v AMENDMENT TO BOTH C.F. 91-2240 C.F. 91-2247 and be it FINALLY RESOLVED: that the Council hereby makes the following findings: 1. C.F. 91-2230 and C.F. 91-2247 shall be considered as two parts of a complete package. 2. Both previously cited resolutions are an attempt to hold down sewer rates in the City of Saint Paul. 3. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) has continued to pass on costs to the City which have become onerous. 4 . The City will address the problem of MWCC costs as part of its 1992 Legislative Package. 5. The City Council rejects an increase in rates of 12% and rather adopts a 6� sanitary sewer rate and will require a 3� cut in its sewer funding with a corresponding minimum 3 � cut by the MWCC. 6. The 1992 Budget contains one million dollars in contingency for the interceptor for which the MWCC has billed the City. ._ •.h t1 i.: ' .

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that pursuant to Section 77.02 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code pertaining to Sewer Service Charges and upon the recommendation of the City Administration, the Council of the City of Saint Paul does hereby establish the amount and basis for Sewer Service Charges to be levied and collected effective January 1 , 1992 through December 31, 1992: $1.86 per 100 cubic feet for the first 100,000 cubic feet. $1.84 per 100 cubic feet for the next 400,000 cubic feet. $1.78 per 100 cubic feet for the next 500,000 cubic feet.

CITY OF SAINT PAUL .`'� '. OFFICE OF THE MAYOR O y � 1111�1�'�11 O < • 347 CITY HALL RECEIVED JAbIES SCHEIBEL SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 1LAYOR (612) 298-4323 �EC � � 1991 �,�rY c�ERK December 26, 1991 Council President Bill Wilson and Honorable Members of the City Council 7th Floor City Hall Saint Paul, MN 55102 Dear Council President Wilson and Members of the City Council: I have vetoed the December 12, 1991 Council resolution, (Council File Number 91- 2247), setting the 1992 sewer service rates. I share the concern of the City Council that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum. However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds. There are four reasons for my veto: (1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep the fund solvent we would be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993 rates. (2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the�Metropolitan Waste Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the authority to charge an interest penalty. (3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent. As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low. (4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs ceased: However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and environmental costs in the near future. In response to the Council's recent action and as a compromise, I am recommending a 9.5 percent increase in the 1992 service rates. This rate recommendation will require over $530,000 of adclitional cuts in the Sewer Service Fund. ...�..., It will be very difficult to make these cuts because as a result of the 1992 budget process, the Sewer Service Fund has already cut $272,000. The additional $530,000 being cut will cause the total elimination of some mandated programs including the federally mandated Stormwater Discharge Permit activity and City participation in the state mandated Watershed Management Organizations. It will also reduce the amount spent on major sewer repair and the federally mandated Inflow and Infiltration Reduction Program. Part I of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit application for our stormwater discharges is due on May 18, 1992. Under the proposed cut, work on this program will stop and the City will fail to meet its responsibilities under this new, unfunded federal regulation. In addition, the state required funding for the several Watershed Management Organizations in the City will be eliminated. The deferment of maintenance resulting in the cuts in major sewer repair may meet an immediate financial need; however, the deterioration of our infrastructure will have a much higher future cost. The proposed reduction in spending in the Inflow and Infiltration Program will likely result in the City's failure to meet its obligations under the current NPDES permit for the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Elimination Program. Noncompliance will expose the City of Saint Paul to financial and other liability. All of the above cuts are one time and will have to be reviewed as part of 1993 budget process. In the proposed 1992 sewer budget, there are no increases in spending for wages or in any other budget items. As mayor I will initiate the following actions: (1.) I have attached a reolution to implement my recommendation for a 9 1/2 percent increase in the 1992 sewer service rates. (2.) I will arrange for the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission representatives to meet with my staff and members of the Council to discuss all City concerns about MWCC charges. Until appropriate sewer rates are set, I have requested the Saint Paul Water Utility to withhold their billings for January. (3.) With all the federal and state mandated programs and the corresponding increases in regional and city sewer service charges, it appears imperative that an oversight into these programs is necessary. I intend to explore the possibility of submitting these mandated programs and annual regional sewer service charges to the State Public Utilities Commission or another appropriate agency for their review. (4.) The Department of Public Works will conduct an extensive study of the revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a part of the study, Public Works will: • contact municipal agencies within Minnesota and similar size cities in other states. We will identify the trends in sewer service rates in other communities that have resulted from mandated environmental programs and will detemine if these cities are experiencing decreased water use by both commercial and residential customers. - • review all large commercial and industrial water and sewer use. • review MWCC costs to the City and the allocation method. • Identify the current and future ability of the Department of Public Works to provide quality sewer service to our customers. • also investigate any new state or federal requirements and their cost impact. • examine ways of consolidating Public Works sewer services with the Saint Paul Water Utility for gains in overall cost effectiveness. • develop a plan to stabilize the sewer rates over a 10-year period. We will detail these issues in a mid-year report to the City Council. If appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of submitting an amended budget and as permitted by the Legislative code, adjust sewer rates mid-year. As elected City officials, we have all taken strong stands on environmental issues. Cleaning up our environment plays a critical part in retaining a high quality of life for Saint Paul citizens. We must maintain support for environment actions with a balanced budget. Therefore, I feel that my veto is the only fiscally responsible action available to me. I know you also share this view and I trust you will support it.

The following information will detail the need for this increase. As you are aware, the two substantial revenue sources to the sewer service program are the sewer service rates and the storm sewer system charge. We have not recommended an incrPase in the storm . sewer system charge this year, but we will review this chargs closely for the 1993 budget. � There are two critical issues concerning the Sewer Service Fund that we feel must be addressed during this 1992 budget proce�s. We feel that it is necessary to identify these issues so they carr be properly addressed by the Council in setting the 1992 Sewer Rates. We have been monitoring the sanitary sewer volumes and have identified a recent decrease in . commercial and industrial use. This recent trend of decreasing volumes • znd substantial past cash draw down in the fund have caused a funding shortfall that requires our immediate attention. � _, r - '� ' � • �anitary Sewer Volumes � There have been substantial r-eductions in commercial and industrial votumes that have led to a reduction in revenues. This reduction has many causes, with recession and cost reduction measures on the part of large users as the primary reason for � reduction in sanitary sewer volumes. ( Please note �the attached graph on sewer volumes.) � • Draw Down ot Operating Cash . The reduction of volume and a desire to hold the line on increases in the�sewer rate have caused us to rely on the fund balance for . , operations. The ability of the fund to continue this practice and still meet its obligations is nearly at an end. � The Public Works Sewer Division will conduct an extensive study of the revenues and costs that affect the Sewer Service Fund. As a part of this study, we �vil! contact municipa! agencies witnin N+inresota ar.d s;milar size cities in other states. We will identiT;v .�he trends in Sewer Service rates in other communities that hav� r��l�ed from mardated environmental r�aram.� and decre�� w�ter use 5Y both cornmercial and residentia! customers We vri�! iaentify the current and future ability of the Department of Fubfic Warks to provide quality sewer service to our customers. We will also investigate any new state or federal requirements. We will detail these issues in a March 1 si report to tt�e City Council. I� appropriate at that time, we will be considering the necessity of submitting an amended budget.

I share the concern of the City Council that service fees, as well as property taxes, must be held to an absolute minimum. However, the City must maintain fiscal integrity and responsiblity in our special funds. There are four reasons for my veto: (1.) If the 6 percent rate increase for 1992 were to go into effect, in order to keep the fund solvent we v�ould be facing a thirty percent increase in 1993 rates. � (2.) Seventy-five percent of the rate revenue goes to the Metropolitan Waste j Contol Commission (MWCC). The MWCC has the authority to levy Saint Paul property owners for any payments withheld by the City and the authority to charge an interest penalty. (3.) Over the past two years, I have worked with the Council to bring excessive fund balances down to the accounting standard between 5 and 10 percent. As a result, sewer rates have been artificially low. A 6 percent increase will � leave the fund balance unacceptably and dangerously low. ; • (4.) In 1990, all federal grant monies for mandated regulations and programs � . ceased. However, the City of Saint Paul cannot and should not lessen our commitment to cleaning up our river and environment. Any weakening of this commitment now will clearly result in higher financial and environmental costs in the near future. In response to the Counci!'s recent act�on and as a compromise, I am recommending a 9.5 percent increase in the 1992 service rates. This rafe recommendat�on will require over $530,000 of add�tional cuts in the Sewer Service Fund.
